NBA The KD Files

[Correct Crusader]

He’s nearly a 40-year-old man-child, addicted to screens, tossing out awful media sound bites from his small mind. Addicts are always saying they're going to give up chasing their dragon.

Other than Shaq, KD probably the most insecure superstar ever.

Definitely not a leader as well.

Any actual source at all that isn't just "KD has burners and this is one"? Hard to take shit on twitter at face value these days tbh

This video sums up why people think it's Durant's burner.

 

[spurraider21]

It's definitely legit.

Same followers as KD's main account with his entourage interacting with this burner account for several years including sending him a birthday message on his actual birthday. The interactions only stopped when it was clear this was his burner

Even if it is his account all we have are supposedly leaked messages nothing that can be publicly verified as not being spoofed

 

[RC_Drunkford]

it's enough if the Rockets players believe that's really him. This gon be hilarious to watch

Thanks! I've seen some more of the leaks since then, and...... I'm choosing to believe tbh, the chaos factor alone is great and KD being glued to his phone at the ASG, looking out of sorts, and playing badly is just too much of a coincidence.

Can't wait to see the Rockettes in the playoffs tbh. I don't know if the seeding would coincide - but man, I'd like the Spurs to stomp them out of the building. Great matchup for us too.

 

[LeBowen]

Tbh, it would've been hillarious if the Spurs got him and this happened.

 

[spursparker9]

I wonder what nicknames would KD gave to our players if he joined the Spurs lol


KD calling Westbrook a triple double cocaine bear
Harden delusional. lol there is some truth to it though

 

[Mugen]

Even if it is his account all we have are supposedly leaked messages nothing that can be publicly verified as not being spoofed

I mean we have enough proof as we're realistically gonna get.

We're not gonna get KD next to Jabari holding an "I'm with stupid" sign if that's what you need tbh

 

[Mugen]

Best part about the leaks is that he's not really wrong about anything tbh

 

[LeBowen]

Best part about the leaks is that he's not really wrong about anything tbh

It's the typical case of someone being the best at what they do without actually realizing it because it comes naturally to him.
He doesn't understand or accept that he's the by far the best player on that roster and that he should be elevating everyone else.
And that's why he'll never be in the highest tier of all-time greats, he's just the executioner that does his job, but doesn't elevate and help his teammates enough.

KD is known for using burner accounts to give his thoughts about things. This account is strongly suspected of being 1 of them and he talks shit about Sengun and Jabari.

This is part of the overall Kevin Durant experience.

KD has never had a problem talking shit to players faces though

 

[MannyIG]

Honestly this just seems like KD which in and of itself is damning. Do you want a teammate for whom this is plausible?

Man if y'all ain't watching the Rockettes fans melting down on Reddit or Clutchfans over this shit you're missing out. This is GREAT

Like ??? KD you fucking asshole the guy idolized you, what a way to destroy the locker room

Has KD ever heard of just texting his bros?

Seriously this dude has to be on social media why? Just dumb af. So much talented wasted on an insecure dude. Talk about mentally weak.

Gotchu my man

Here's the Reddit Megathread on the Rockettes sub on the topic; here's the Clutchfans megathread on it; and here's a fuckin' hilarious article in retrospect about Jabari Smith Jr idolizing KD:

"Latest Jabari Smith update is exactly what Rockets fans wanted to hear"

E: Another megathread -- "All KD twitter burner chat leaks" with lots of discussion, and here's a kind of "SpursReddit Sochan moment" thread in support of Jabari: "This guy can be frustrating at times, but in light of today’s events I fully support him"

E2 damn, didn't know Jabari was getting so much fire; "Peyton Watson is exposing harsh Jabari Smith Jr. reality that's getting worse"

(...) Meanwhile, Smith has continued to struggle. In his most recent game on Sunday night, Jabari scored just nine points and grabbed just seven rebounds in 33 minutes as Houston fell to the Sacramento Kings. For the month of January, he's averaging only 11.0 points while shooting 30.1% from the floor and 17.1% from three-point range.


On the one hand, you could say that playing alongside Kevin Durant would give you less touches. And while that may be true, KD's presence is also perhaps the greatest floor-spacing cheat code in the game today. If you can't produce with the extra space provided by Durant's gravity, that becomes pretty hard to justify.

What makes it tougher is where the Rockets are as a team. This is a squad expected to contend here and now, and there's less of a developmental runway than before. The Rockets are trying to see who actually fits long-term as a part of their core. When opportunities come and go without progress, it's understandable when patience starts to wear thin.

The article is extra hilarious with the knowledge that KD himself had already grown sick and tired of Jabari

41 pages already. That might end up being their Jason Kidd thread.

TBH I'd offer Vassell + filler for him, but the problem is the Spurs won't have any expiring contracts next season besides Keldon, that is going to be a problem in trades. I think scott alluded to this already, since the Spurs won't have cap space probably rolling over some expirings to next year would have come in handy. The closest I can think of is Vassell + Barnes S&T for Durant... I'd do it.

 

[scott]

I'm not trying to call people out... but there is a highly reputable, very smart poster among us who, in the last 13 months or so, thought we should both 1) trade for Ja and 2) trade for KD. Just goes to show, no one of us has perfect ideas... hence why we are on BaselineBums and not on Brian Wright's staff.

Personally, I'm happy we have Fox and not-KD instead.

Thanks for the shout out... I can already tell it is going to be a chore reminding people that our only ways to improve the roster offseason will be:

1. Draft
2. MLE and BAE
3. Trading a rotation player

That's it.
